GE IC693MDL742D Series 90-30 Digital Input Module
Product Overview
The GE IC693MDL742D is a 16-channel digital input module designed for GE’s Series 90-30 PLC system. It serves as a critical link between field devices and the controller. It converts 24V DC signals from sensors, switches, and proximity detectors into digital data. This data is then processed by the PLC’s CPU, such as the IC693CPU374. This functionality makes the GE IC693MDL742D essential for monitoring equipment status in industrial automation systems.
The GE IC693MDL742D operates with a 24V DC input range. It accepts on-state voltages from 10V DC to 30V DC. It recognizes off-state voltages below 5V DC. This range ensures compatibility with standard industrial sensors. The module features 1500V AC isolation between field inputs and the logic circuit. This isolation protects the PLC system from electrical noise and voltage spikes. Such protection is vital in environments with heavy machinery, like factories or power plants.
As part of the Series 90-30 platform, the GE IC693MDL742D fits into standard racks such as the IC693CHS397. It works seamlessly with other Series 90-30 components. These components include power supplies like the IC693PWR330 and communication modules like the IC693BEM331. The module’s compact design and rugged build allow it to operate in temperatures from 0°C to 60°C. It resists dust and vibrations. This ensures reliable performance in harsh industrial settings.

It reduces the number of modules needed in the rack. This saves space in control cabinets. It also lowers overall system costs.
reliable signal detection: The module accepts 24V DC signals. It recognizes on-state signals from 10V DC to 30V DC. It ignores off-state signals below 5V DC. This range ensures accurate detection of sensor states. It works with common industrial sensors. Examples include proximity switches and limit switches.
strong electrical isolation: The IC693MDL742D provides 1500V AC isolation between field inputs and logic circuits. This isolation blocks electrical noise. It prevents voltage spikes from damaging the PLC system. This is critical in factories with motors, welders, or other high-power equipment.
industrial durability: The IC693MDL742D operates in temperatures from 0°C to 60°C. It resists dust and vibrations. It does not require special enclosures in most industrial environments. This durability ensures consistent performance. It reduces downtime due to module failure.
easy integration: The module fits into standard Series 90-30 racks. It connects to the backplane without special adapters. It works with all Series 90-30 CPUs, power supplies, and communication modules. This compatibility allows users to add the IC693MDL742D to existing systems. It simplifies upgrades and expansions.
clear status indicators: LED lights on the front panel show the status of each channel. A lit LED indicates an on-state signal. A dark LED indicates an off-state signal. This allows technicians to quickly check sensor connections. It speeds up troubleshooting.
